Overview
Bolt drivers worked as self-employed independent contractors. But lawyers believed the terms of their contracts meant they should be classed as ‘workers’. Workers are entitled to a range of rights and protections that self-employed contractors are not – including the National Minimum Wage and holiday pay.
Lawyers launched class actions to help Bolt drivers claim back the wages they should have received. And in 2024, in a landmark case, thousands of drivers won their claim. This means they could now receive thousands of pounds in backpay each.
